DESCRIPTORS *Decentralization; Elementary Secondary Education; *Institutional Autonomy; *Participative Decision Making; *School Based Management; School Organization; Teacher Influence; *Teacher Participation IDENTIFIERS *Dade County Public Schools FL ABSTRACT The Dade County (Florida) Public School system has had various types of school-based management (SBM) procedures in operation since 1974. During the 1985-86 school year, a committee of principals and other administrators reviewed the concepts of SBM from a different viewpoint, using various materials that addressed the professionalization of education and of teaching. The pilot project developed by this committee was approved by the Dade County School Board in July 1986. This report contains documents and materials related to the pilot project now in progress. Included are a summary and principles of SBM and shared decision making (SDM); requests for proposals to schools that wish to participate; a discussion of budget procedures under the school-based system; outlines of a documentation process and an evaluation plan; and other practical documents that can be used by school systems in their efforts to implement an SBM/SDM system.

Management of schools is totally independent of metropolitan and city governments. The metropolitan government collects the school tax for the school system, but exercises no control over its use. The nine-member School Board is elected by single member districts. Regular, open meetings are generally held in the Board auditorium each month on a Wednesday at one o’clock. Responsibility for administration of schools is vested in the District Superintendent, appointed by the Board. Each of the district’s schools is assigned to one of six Access Centers, which provide support for schools, advocacy for students and parents, and partnerships with businesses.

Parents, teachers and counselors will assist students in determining the proper courses for the 2011-2012 school year. The registration process should involve many individuals, not just the student. Lawton Chiles Middle School offers a wide variety of academic and elective courses. Every effort will be made to grant each student his/her first choice of an elective; however, due to the constraints of the master schedule, the second or third choice may be utilized. Additionally, every middle school student must take at least one semester of physical education. Counselors will be meeting with all students to discuss the course offerings and academic requirements. If you have any questions regarding the registration process, please call your child’s counselor. We look forward to your continued support in helping us make your child’s educational program the best one possible.
